Flying Unicorns - Mixed Media Kit June

This kit is a compilation of all the essentials to make some cool projects - mists, florals, canvas, masks, metallic rubon, chipboard and more.

I made two projects from my Mixed Media Kit this month, a banner and a mail holder. First the banner, shown above.

I prepared a SHORT video showing how I created this. It's less then 4min and yes, my hands fly super fast but I just want to give you the idea and the feel for what I am doing without all the pain of watching paint dry!

I had some old doilies that I tucked into the corners.

Here is a close up of my embossed letter with inked edges.

Here is the gorgeous metal Adornment from the Flying Unicorns. You can leave "as is" seen below for a vintage feel or you can paint, emboss, use alcohol inks and whatever your mind can envisions to finish the metal adornments.

Mail Holder

I created this with my husband in mind. He loves to stick things on the fridge and I prefer a clean fridge. Well, if I can provide him some kind of compromise and a place to stick his bills, then we both win (only I win a little more hahahaaa).

I created this mail holder.

I stared out with the large 18in x27in canvas from the kit. I cut a width of 12 inches and noted where my top was. The top has a pocket for doweling or a rod for hanging.

So I set out to use the large canvas in the kit and fold it so that to would form little pouches. I punched holes where the folds met, and used a long decorative brad to hold the canvas in place. You can sew the canvas on the side if you prefer, but I chose not to do that.

Here I embossed the letters with Stampendous Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel, inked the edges a little with some Mixd Media Inx in Mossy, and dabbed with some brown ink.
